LITTLE LEARNERS: Lyttelton Primary School pupils have had their first day of learning in their brand new building. Pupils were welcomed to the new school, on the corner of<br />

Oxford St and Sumner Rd, with a mihi whakatau, or formal welcome, on Monday morning. There were speeches and a cake cutting. Lyttelton Primary is the result of a merger<br />

between Lyttelton Main and West schools. The school had been operating out of two separate sites until April 15, the last day of term one. • More photos, p17.<br />

Intersection riddled with problems<br />

CONFUSING: The Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board has asked<br />

whether traffic signals could be installed at the bottom of St<br />

Andrews Hill Rd, after a city council report criticised the layout of the<br />

intersection.<br />

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD<br />

The new Ferrymead bridge<br />

intersection re-design is riddled<br />

with problems, a report has<br />

revealed.<br />

The city council designed and<br />

installed the Bridle Path and St<br />

Andrews Hill Rds intersection,<br />

which was operational in September.<br />

But now its own traffic engineers<br />

have found significant design<br />

problems that they say should have<br />

been picked up when a pre-construction<br />

safety audit was done in<br />

February 2014.<br />

The problems include difficulties<br />

turning right onto Bridle Path<br />

Rd from St Andrews Hill Rd, the<br />

speed of vehicles approaching<br />

the intersection, a lack of visibility,<br />

and queuing of vehicles.<br />

Go Bus, which is contracted by<br />

Environment Canterbury to run<br />

bus routes in the area, said in the<br />

report that the right turn out of<br />

St Andrews Hill Rd was “almost<br />

impossible for the drivers”.<br />

Now, the Hagley-Ferrymead<br />

Community Board, which<br />

ordered the investigation, has<br />

directed staff to come up with<br />

ways of making the intersection<br />

better, including the possibility<br />

of putting in traffic signals at the<br />

bottom of St Andrews Hill Rd.<br />

The underground cables have<br />

been laid for the signals, and it<br />

would cost about $150,000 for<br />

them to be activated.<br />

Previously the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

News reported that residents<br />

were frustrated with the intersection,<br />

with many saying they<br />

avoided using it.<br />

The report said residents’<br />

concerns were “valid” and the<br />

intersection design was “far from<br />

ideal”.<br />

Community Board chairwoman<br />

Sara Templeton said it was clear<br />

the concerns raised were valid, and<br />

while accidents were unlikely to be<br />

serious, they were expected to be<br />

commonplace.<br />

Bid to bring cruise ships home<br />

Report being<br />

discussed behind<br />

closed doors<br />

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD<br />

Location and costs of installing<br />

a new Lyttelton cruise ship berth<br />

have been discussed behind<br />

closed doors.<br />

A “highly confidential” report<br />

has been developed and presented<br />

to Christchurch City Holdings<br />

Ltd last week, but it can<br />

not be made public because it is<br />

“commercially sensitive”.<br />

CCHL is an investment arm of<br />

the city council.<br />

City councillor Ali Jones, who<br />

is part of a working party set up<br />

to support the cruise ship berth<br />

rebuild in Lyttelton, said it was<br />

now up to CCHL chief executive<br />

Bob Lineham as to when<br />

the information would go to the<br />

city council.<br />

She hoped it would be within<br />

the month, however it was unlikely<br />

to be made public then.<br />

“It’s an extremely robust and<br />

positive piece of work that I’m<br />

really excited about it being<br />

presented to council,” she<br />

said.<br />

Lyttelton’s cruise ship berth<br />

was damaged in the earthquakes,<br />

and cruise ships have been hosted<br />

by Akaroa since, with mixed<br />

reactions from businesses and<br />

residents.<br />

Cr Jones said the working party<br />

saw the report first, and made<br />

a few adjustments before it was<br />

presented to the board.<br />

“There is no indication at this<br />

stage from council or any party<br />

that a cruise berth will go ahead.<br />

There is still much to do including<br />

speaking with the cruise<br />

lines who are obviously key<br />

to any decision on a cruise<br />

berth.”<br />

However, she said she could<br />

not express enough how “important”<br />

it was to get cruise ships<br />

back into Lyttelton.<br />

Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community<br />

Board chairwoman Paula<br />

Smith said the board had not<br />

seen the contents of the report,<br />

but understood it looked into<br />

economics.<br />

She said it was important to<br />

the board and local businesses<br />

that cruise ships returned to<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

Before the earthquakes, when<br />

ships came in, businesses would<br />

see about a 10 per cent increase<br />

WELCOME<br />

VISITOR:<br />

Cruise ships,<br />

such as The<br />

World, used<br />

to stop in<br />

Lyttelton until<br />

the berth<br />

was damaged<br />

in the<br />

earthquakes.<br />

The World is<br />

pictured here<br />

in 2003.<br />

in turnover, she said.<br />

A Lyttelton Port of Christchurch<br />

spokeswoman said LPC<br />

would not comment on the rebuild.<br />

Christchurch and Canterbury<br />

Tourism chief executive Vic Allen<br />

said rebuilding a cruise ship<br />

berth in Lyttelton was being<br />

worked on, and it was supporting<br />

that effort.<br />

PORT EXPANSION PROGRESS<br />

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch’s<br />

reclamation of Te Awaparahi <strong>Bay</strong><br />

has reached 9.35ha and is expected<br />

to increase to 10ha this year. More<br />

than 2,400,000 tonnes of earthquake<br />

demolition material and<br />

rubble has gone into the reclamation,<br />

which has allowed the port<br />

to expand. 5.5 hectares of the<br />

reclamation is in use and another<br />

hectare will be available mid-year.<br />

COUNCILLOR STANDS DOWN<br />

City councillor Tim Scandrett<br />

wants to stand down from the<br />

Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee<br />

if a replacement can be found.<br />

Cr Scandrett said the committee<br />

meetings often clashed with his<br />

Spreydon-Heathcote Community<br />

Board meetings, making it difficult<br />

for him to attend. While he still<br />

kept up to date with what happened<br />

in the meetings, he said he would<br />

prefer if an elected member who<br />

lived in the area took over.<br />

UNHITCHING INVESTIGATION<br />

Police have spoken to about 10<br />

people about a $150,000 boat being<br />

unhitched from its mooring in<br />

Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong>. The Debbie Jane,<br />

a fishing trawler, was set afloat at<br />

about 1.30am on April 23. Senior<br />

Constable Anita Osborne said police<br />

know of a number of vehicles<br />

that were in the area at the time<br />

and were continuing to investigate.<br />

Anyone with information should<br />

contact police on 363 7400 or<br />

Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.<br />

LUCKY: A Christchurch man will appear in the district court on <strong>May</strong> 17<br />

charged with driving with excess blood alcohol and careless driving,<br />

after he crashed his truck near Birdlings Flat.<br />

Drink driving charges for<br />

driver of crashed truck<br />

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD<br />

A man who crashed his vehicle<br />

near Birdlings Flat in March<br />

was allegedly more than three<br />

times over the legal breath<br />

alcohol limit.<br />

Senior Constable Anita<br />

Osborne said the Christchurch<br />

man would appear in the district<br />

court on <strong>May</strong> 17, charged<br />

with driving with excess blood<br />

alcohol and careless driving.<br />

The 48-year-old was driving<br />

home from Birdlings Flat<br />

on March 30 at about 1.30pm<br />

when he rolled his vehicle over<br />

an embankment into a paddock<br />

near Jones Rd.<br />

He was cut from the vehicle<br />

and flown to hospital and was<br />

“very lucky” to have only sustained<br />

bruising.<br />

His alcohol reading, which<br />

Senior Constable Osborne<br />

would not disclose, was later<br />

taken at hospital.<br />

Senior Constable Osborne<br />

said he had gotten his truck<br />

stuck in sand near a fishing spot<br />

overnight, and was towed out in<br />

the morning.<br />

He was driving back to<br />

Christchurch the following day,<br />

and had driven less than 2km,<br />

when he crashed, she said.<br />

Senior Constable Osborne<br />

said he had “possibly fallen<br />

asleep” and when she arrived<br />

he smelt of alcohol.<br />

Saturday is the day for a group of 20<br />

daring dancers who will perform to<br />

raise money for Sumner charities.<br />

Strictly Sumner will be held at<br />

Sumner School hall, where 10 couples<br />

will show off what they have<br />

learned - dance routines - over the<br />

last two months in front of 500 supporters.<br />

Guest judges for this year’s event<br />

will be former The Bachelor NZ and<br />

DANCE OFF: The Strictly Sumner contestants<br />

will perform in front of guest judges, including<br />

Chrystal Chenery (above), and a crowd on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Dancing With the Stars contestant<br />

Crystal Chenery, dance professional<br />

Scott Cole and ONE News reporter<br />

Lisa Davies.<br />

Each couple has been having<br />

dance lessons and practising over<br />

the past two months, and will perform<br />

choreographed routines.<br />

The event follows last year’s Place-<br />

Makers Fight for Sumner.<br />

Saturday’s event is black tie and<br />

guests at the VIP gala tables will<br />

have a three course meal from Continental<br />

Event Catering, and those<br />

at elevated seating will have a supper<br />

box provided by Nourish Food<br />

Company.<br />

The money raised will go towards<br />

the chosen charities of each couple.<br />

Jodi Wright<br />

Veteran festival director’s work with writers,<br />

Sumner’s Jodi Wright is again running the Cavell Leitch New<br />

Zealand Jazz and Blues Festival which will take place this<br />

month. She spoke to Bridget Rutherford about starting the<br />

World Buskers Festival, living in Sumner and writing a novel<br />

inspired by growing up around addiction<br />

So can you tell me a bit about<br />

this month’s Cavell Leitch NZ<br />

Jazz and Blues Festival?<br />

Well this is the 18 th Cavell<br />

Leitch New Zealand Jazz and<br />

Blues Festival. Post-earthquakes<br />

it’s been a real<br />

challenge because of the<br />

venue situation. We’ve<br />

spent the last couple of<br />

years using different venues<br />

but this is the first year<br />

we’re back at a proper one,<br />

the Isaac Theatre Royal.<br />

This year’s event is also<br />

a celebration of the jazz<br />

school turning 25, so we’ll<br />

have that on the first day<br />

on <strong>May</strong> 25, and on <strong>May</strong><br />

26 we have the Ramsey<br />

Lewis Quartet, they are<br />

coming in from Chicago.<br />

The festival<br />

has been running<br />

for a while, I feel<br />

really great about<br />

how the city’s<br />

progressing and<br />

the rebuild. We<br />

also moved<br />

the festival from April to <strong>May</strong> this year<br />

because historically it has been in the<br />

school holidays, but we wanted to incorporate<br />

the great high school jazz bands.<br />

This year it will feature four high school<br />

jazz bands, but I would have preferred to<br />

have more.<br />

Where was the festival hosted after<br />

the earthquakes?<br />

We had some at The Bedford. We had<br />

Charlie Musselwhite, one of the greatest<br />

blues performers in the world, perform in<br />

the student lounge at Christchurch Polytechnic<br />

Institute of Technology (now Ara<br />

Institute of Canterbury), which he was ok<br />

to do because he comes from grassroots.<br />

I told him the situation, that we had a<br />

big earthquake, and he was like ‘wow,<br />

I will come out’. Bonnie Raitt played<br />

in the Christchurch Town Hall in 2008,<br />

and came back in 2013 and was fully<br />

aware of the quake. It’s been a challenge<br />

in some ways to accommodate acts that<br />

require a proper concert hall. The Piano<br />

venue which is nearly built venue, looks<br />

wonderful, so things are coming around.<br />

Who will be at this month’s festival?<br />

I have Ramsey Lewis and Tami Neilson<br />

performing in the Transitional Cathedral,<br />

doing a bluesy country show, and there<br />

are so many other great performers. One<br />

group has put together a Stevie Wonder<br />

show. For four nights we have international<br />

acts. We’ve also got great art work<br />

this year, so it’s been good. We’ve got a<br />

bit of everything, and even jazz shows at<br />

The George.<br />

So how long have you been running<br />

the festival?<br />

Eighteen years. I started the World<br />

Buskers Festival, and I just retired from<br />

that two years ago. Sometimes in the 90s<br />

and 2000s I would be running three or<br />

four festivals at a time. I was executive<br />

director for the writers festival as well.<br />

I don’t know how or why I did all of it<br />

at the same time, but I would be running<br />

from one to another.<br />

Can you fill me in on how the World<br />

Buskers Festival actually started?<br />

Well, right about the time you were<br />

born I moved to New Zealand from Seattle.<br />

I had a difficult time because I come<br />

from this background of events and marketing<br />

and I had difficulty finding a job.<br />

After a while of not finding a job, I called<br />

the then mayor Vicki Buck. She was really<br />

good and encouraging. She said she<br />

had been planning to put a committee<br />

together to start a Festival of Romance<br />

and said I should apply for it. So I did,<br />

and I got it. The Festival of Romance was<br />

an outdoor arts and entertainment festival,<br />

centred around the central city and<br />

the Arts Centre for nine days, concluding<br />

on Valentine’s Day. It was sweet, but<br />

the funding for it just wasn’t happening.<br />

Then I started the World Buskers Festi-

buskers and the local music scene<br />

val. Vicki and I came up with<br />

the name of it. At the Festival<br />

of Romance we had a few street<br />

performers who would turn up,<br />

which gave us the idea to hold<br />

their own festival. I put together<br />

the first festival, which had 10<br />

performers in 1994. It grew and<br />

grew and grew slowly. Then<br />

suddenly it grew a lot.<br />

Why did you decide to step<br />

down?<br />

I stepped down in November<br />

2014, but I set up the whole line<br />

up for 2015 festival beforehand.<br />

I was writing a novel, I’ve been<br />

a writer for a long time, but<br />

I kept putting it on the back<br />

burner. I had 22 years at the<br />

World Buskers Festival, I just<br />

thought something has to give.<br />

I felt like I had taken it as far as<br />

I could with the resources that<br />

were available to me.<br />

So you’re originally from<br />

America, why the move to<br />

New Zealand?<br />

I married a man from South<br />

Canterbury, he was in the<br />

United States playing polo. I<br />

met him at a jazz club. He sat<br />

next to me, I had a friend with<br />

me, but I couldn’t understand a<br />

word he said. When he said he<br />

played polo I assumed he played<br />

water polo. I remember saying<br />

to him ‘so you wear beanies on<br />

Previously<br />

United Travel<br />

your head and speedos’? And<br />

he was like what? (laughs) His<br />

name is Peter, and he is a car<br />

dealer. We’ve always lived in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

How long have you been in<br />

Sumner for?<br />

I’ve lived in Sumner since<br />

2003, for a long time. It’s<br />

beautiful. It’s a nice village,<br />

and there’s a nice feeling. I can<br />

go out my door and walk all<br />

the way to Godley Head. The<br />

quakes did wipe us out, they<br />

wiped everyone out, but things<br />

are coming back around.<br />

Do you have any kids?<br />

Yes, they’re in their 30s, they<br />

are in Christchurch. We’ve gone<br />

back to the States often but it’s<br />

hard to live somewhere else<br />

then go back, the energy is so<br />

different. Everything is a big<br />

drama there, and with that election<br />

everything is on edge. It<br />

feels like reality television, like<br />

a spoof. It’s calmer and easier<br />

to live here. If you’re a creative<br />

person and you want to spend<br />

time writing or painting, there’s<br />

a lot of space here to do that.<br />

What I miss about the States is<br />

my family.<br />

And you mentioned before<br />

you were writing a book, fill<br />

me in.<br />

It’s published now. It took a<br />

year from when I left buskers to<br />

ICON: American blues singer Bonnie Raitt performed at the Cavell<br />

Leitch New Zealand Jazz and Blues Festival in 2013, and is pictured<br />

with Jodi.<br />

finish it. It’s a novel called How<br />

to Grow an Addict. I’ve been<br />

writing for years and years. I<br />

wrote this book because I have<br />

experience of drug addiction<br />

and alcohol addiction, but the<br />

book is not my story. It was so<br />

long ago, before I moved here.<br />

I just grew up around heavy<br />

drinkers, and I was one of those<br />

teens who was always throwing<br />

a party. I was the first one to<br />

drink anything. It was fun for a<br />

while until it wasn’t anymore.<br />

So if people in the area<br />

wanted to go to the jazz festival,<br />

the closest would be at<br />

Orange Studio?<br />

Yes. I’m hoping to be able to<br />

use Sumner Surf Life Saving<br />

Club next year. But there will<br />

be improvisation jazz shows at<br />

Orange Studio.<br />

Any plans to start up any<br />

more festivals in the future?<br />

You just never know. I will<br />

never say no. If something<br />

really great came along and I<br />

thought the city could use this,<br />

I would.<br />

your local Views<br />

Ian Knewstubb of Lyttelton responds to<br />

Paula Smith’s Soap Box column calling<br />

for Lyttelton Port of Christchurch’s No 4<br />

wharf to be turned into a public space:<br />

As one who has spent over 25 years supporting<br />

heritage in Lyttelton, this proposal<br />

should be supported to the hilt.<br />

It would be a perfect site for a new<br />

Lyttelton Museum and the Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> Ferry.<br />

With the move east for commercial<br />

operations and the container trade of the<br />

port company, and the relocation of many<br />

civic activities to the corner of Canterbury<br />

and London Sts, the visual relationship<br />

between No 4 and the town is compelling.<br />

With a pedestrian walkway over Norwich<br />

Quay and rail operations, and with<br />

enhanced public space developments as<br />

found in Auckland etc, this would make<br />

for a wonderful heritage area as befitting<br />

the maritime history of Lyttelton.<br />

I am well aware how this wharf has<br />

been neglected but the cost of demolition<br />

would be horrendous and such monies<br />

could be set aside for maintenance and<br />

preliminary developments.<br />

There is no need for undue haste as we<br />

are now just recovering from the terrible<br />

loss of built heritage in Lyttelton.<br />

Do you have a leaky home?<br />

The Financial Assistance Package, which<br />

helps people with a contribution to repair<br />

leaky homes, is closing to new claims on<br />

23 July <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

To give time for an assessment to be<br />

undertaken, applications should be with<br />

Readers respond to a<br />

suggestion that the annual<br />

Guy Fawkes fireworks display<br />

at New Brighton could be<br />

held at Sumner while the pier<br />

receives repairs:<br />

Diana Johnston, of Sumner<br />

– No to an annual fireworks<br />

display in Sumner.<br />

Sumner area is just not<br />

large enough to accommodate<br />

potentially the thousands<br />

of people who may attend.<br />

Sumner roads are narrow,<br />

constantly being worked on<br />

and easily congested. Try<br />

travelling to and from on a<br />

Sunday afternoon.<br />

Sumner hills in the last<br />

couple of years have had at<br />

least three fires, two where<br />

empty (thank goodness)<br />

properties were set alight<br />

and burned to the ground,<br />

and last week a scrub fire<br />

on Scarborough was just<br />

contained.<br />

We have endured a fairly<br />

tragic few years post the major<br />

and minor earthquakes and I<br />

would not like to see any more<br />

risk taken down here.<br />

I grew up in this area and<br />

remember fireworks on Sumner<br />

Beach, but this was minimal<br />

compared to the huge event.<br />

Christchurch now holds,<br />

and mainly attended by<br />

residents.<br />

Lastly, New Brighton has a<br />

much larger area of ocean and<br />

beach than Sumner and plenty<br />

of parking.<br />

Hagley Park could also be<br />

an appropriate venue with<br />

plenty of open space and<br />

accommodation for parking.<br />

Jan Lisle - I am sure Sumner<br />

would do a great job hosting<br />

the fireworks and the<br />

community would get behind<br />

it.<br />

Housing subsidy still needed<br />

A Government heating and<br />

insulation subsidy programme<br />

comes to an end in June.<br />

Community Energy Action<br />

Charitable Trust chief executive<br />

Caroline Shone writes this week’s<br />

column about the importance<br />

of the programme and why it<br />

should continue in some form.<br />

Shelter is one<br />

of the most basic<br />

of human needs<br />

and the Universal<br />

Declaration of<br />

Human Rights<br />

says that everyone<br />

has the right to<br />

housing.<br />

It can be debated that housing<br />

that makes people sick, isn’t<br />

housing at all.<br />

However houses that are damp,<br />

houses that are cold, with the<br />

people living in them unable<br />

to heat them to an adequate<br />

temperature to keep them healthy,<br />

are a reality for many households<br />

in Christchurch.<br />

The old, the young and the sick<br />

suffer most in those houses.<br />

We all know the result.<br />

Every winter sees many<br />

residents ending up in hospital<br />

with preventable cold-related<br />

health issues. Even healthy people<br />

get sick more often in those cold,<br />

damp houses.<br />

From experience we know that<br />

SOAP<br />

BOX<br />

installing insulation and heating<br />

in people’s homes especially those<br />

with health conditions will reduce<br />

hospitalisations, delivering cost<br />

savings to the health system.<br />

Installing insulation and heating<br />

is a one-off cost but the benefits<br />

last a long time, saving money on<br />

health and saving lives every year.<br />

The Government through<br />

the Energy Efficiency and<br />

Conservation Authority (EECA)<br />

have spent $450 million<br />

nationwide on insulation and<br />

heating subsidies over the last<br />

couple of years.<br />

And we know it has made a<br />

difference.<br />

The current subsidy programme<br />

comes to an end in June this year.<br />

It would be fantastic if subsidies<br />

would be available in the future<br />

for those who need insulation.<br />

It’s a great way for Christchurch<br />

people to help those in their<br />

community who need a bit of help<br />

to create a warm, dry, healthy<br />

home.<br />

TRICKY JOB: Abseilers began getting rid of loose rocks on the cliff above<br />

Moa Bone Cave last week.<br />

Rock danger removed<br />

Abseilers began scaling loose<br />

rocks from the cliffs around<br />

Sumner last week as part of<br />

a project to reduce the risk of<br />

hazardous rock falls to the Sumner<br />

-Lyttelton lifeline route.<br />

The scaling work began last<br />

Tuesday on the cliff above Moa<br />

Bone Cave with abseilers using<br />

crowbars and airbags to leverage<br />

loose rock from the cliff face.<br />

City council senior geotechnical<br />

engineer Dr Ian Wright said crow<br />

bars were efficient at removing the<br />

smaller rocks, but airbags were<br />

necessary for some of the bigger<br />

ones.<br />

They were slipped in behind the<br />

rock and inflated like a balloon.<br />

Once inflated, they applied up to 24<br />

tonnes of pressure behind the rock,<br />

causing it to become unstable and<br />

collapse into a safe area below.<br />

It was a better alternative than<br />

blasting in a residential area, Dr<br />

Wright said.<br />

The work will minimise the<br />

risk of dangerous rock falls in the<br />

event of future trigger events such<br />

as earthquakes.<br />

Other cliffs around Sumner<br />

would be tackled in the coming<br />

months.<br />

Other hazard reduction work<br />

planned around Sumner includes<br />

construction of a 3m high, 300m<br />

long rock stack bund in front of<br />

Shag Rock Reserve, also known<br />

as Peacock’s Gallop.<br />

The bund, which will have a 2m<br />

high mesh security fence erected<br />

in front of it, is designed to<br />

catch any rocks that fall from the<br />

cliff face above if another quake<br />

strikes.<br />

It will be constructed entirely<br />

from material that has already<br />

fallen from the cliff.<br />

Dancing in the<br />

Streets<br />

March is always one of the<br />

busiest sales months of the year,<br />

and this March was no exception!<br />

Not only has Autumn provided<br />

stellar weather to our beach<br />

and hillside suburbs, it has been<br />

a stellar month for Ray White<br />

Ferrymead with very strong<br />

sales during the past month. The<br />

level of buyer enquiry remains<br />

strong across all areas of the<br />

market. The Ray White quarterly<br />

list auctions, held on April 20th<br />

at the Novotel, demonstrates<br />

the enduring power of selling<br />

property under the hammer, with<br />

62.5 % sold on the day.<br />

Our office continues to see<br />

continuing high interest in ‘As is<br />

Where Is’ properties, with a large<br />

database seeking information<br />

solely on these types of<br />

properties as soon as the listing is<br />

live. Overall sales volumes across<br />

the Canterbury region are up by<br />

24% compared to February, with<br />

a rise of 19% increase in sales<br />

volume compared to March last<br />

year. Median house prices across<br />

the Canterbury region for this<br />

time of year are up 1-2%. REINZ<br />

Regional Director, Jim Davis<br />

commented that “it is noticeable<br />

that stock levels are decreasing<br />

again as new listings are, once<br />

again, in short supply and sold<br />

stock is not being replaced as<br />

quickly. This slowdown of new<br />

listing stock coupled with strong<br />

sales has meant prices have<br />

tended to remain strong and<br />

steady so far this year across the<br />

market and the drop in days on<br />

market is a good indication of the<br />

markets current strength.”<br />

Our Loan Market representative<br />

Antonia McAtamney has<br />

commented that the Reserve<br />

Bank has left the official cash<br />

rate (OCR) unchanged at 2.25%.<br />

So what that means for home<br />

buyers, is that bank rates will<br />

remain stable for the foreseeable<br />

future.<br />

Another hot topic around our<br />

office besides property is the up<br />

and coming “Strictly Sumner”<br />

dance event, in which our very<br />

own Principal, and twinkle toes,<br />

Craig Prier will feature! Craig has<br />

fortunately been partnered with<br />

the tall and graceful Kath Cross,<br />

owner of The Cornership Bistro!<br />

As much as we like to give Craig<br />

a hard time around the office<br />

about his ‘2 left feet’, Craig has<br />

pushed himself out of his comfort<br />

zone entirely, and is doing this<br />

to support the local Sumner<br />

community. Craig and Kath have<br />

Kath Cross and Craig Prier<br />

Craig Prier<br />

nominated the Sumner Resident’s Association as their<br />

chosen charity.<br />

Clayton Spence, Chair of the Association said money<br />

raised will be used to purchase “some new funky signs<br />

to advertise what we have to offer in this great village<br />

of Sumner”. Strictly Sumner is a community fundraising<br />

event with 10 charities in total represented. All funds<br />

raised on the night are shared between these charities,<br />

however all Give-A- Little proceeds go directly to the<br />

Sumner Residents Association and are not shared.<br />

At print current donations are $2, 161. This event will be<br />

held at the Sumner School Hall on Saturday <strong>May</strong> 7th <strong>2016</strong>.<br />

Amputee’s story told $2.5m needed for health facility<br />

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE<br />

When Trixie Wuts was born<br />

her parents had a very difficult<br />

decision to make whether or not<br />

to amputate both of her legs to<br />

the knee.<br />

On the advice of medical professionals,<br />

Trixie’s parents Anton<br />

and Margot decided amputation<br />

was the best solution.<br />

Their experience has been<br />

documented in a childrens’ book<br />

distributed by the Amputee Society<br />

of Canterbury and Westland<br />

to help families facing a similar<br />

choice.<br />

The society helped get a $5000<br />

grant for the publishing and<br />

distribution of the book from the<br />

Artificial Limb Service.<br />

Little Jellybean was written by<br />

Margot and illustrated by Anton<br />

based on their experience.<br />

Trixie was diagnosed with distal<br />

arthrogryposis before she was<br />

born, meaning she had crooked<br />

or hooked joints in her feet.<br />

She had many procedures<br />

done when she was born, which<br />

attempted to correct the deformities<br />

in both of her feet, but they<br />

were largely unsuccessful.<br />

The surgery was successful<br />

and Trixie now “leads a full and<br />

active life” with her new feet.<br />

Amputee Society of Canterbury<br />

and Westland president<br />

Mark Bruce said the more families<br />

that can be reached with the<br />

book, the better.<br />

“It’s about raising awareness<br />

for parents in a situation where<br />

their child is very unwell. The<br />

story is mainly about the parents<br />

having to make an incredibly<br />

tough decision to help their children,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Bruce said the book will<br />

become an invaluable source for<br />

those looking for support.<br />

“If you have a young one with<br />

an amputation or have a young<br />

one about to undergo an amputation<br />

then this is a great resource.<br />

“The future of the federation is<br />

in its youth . . . If we can affect<br />

just one family with the help of<br />

this book, then it’s been a worthwhile<br />

venture,” he said.<br />

The society are making copies<br />

of the book available from<br />

their national and regional coordinators,<br />

who can be contacted<br />

on www.af.org.nz.<br />

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD<br />

The Akaroa community now has<br />

to raise $2.5 million for its new<br />

health facility, which is expected<br />

to be open by the end of next<br />

year.<br />

The Canterbury District Health<br />

Board announced on Monday the<br />

design of the facility was ready<br />

to go out for tender.<br />

It hopes to begin construction<br />

in November, with it completed<br />

before the end of 2017.<br />

Final costings for the new<br />

facility are still being worked<br />

through, but in order to include<br />

beds for aged residential care,<br />

the community will have to<br />

contribute $2.5 million.<br />

The old Akaroa Hospital, on<br />

Onuku Pl, was significantly<br />

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch is<br />

sponsoring a programme<br />

that helps keep youth away from<br />

drug-use, violence and crime.<br />

LPC has sponsored a vehicle<br />

for the Canterbury Youth<br />

Development Programme.<br />

It will mean co-ordinators<br />

can make home visits to<br />

disadvantaged youth and their<br />

families, and provide transport<br />

for youth to work and get an<br />

education.<br />

LPC chief executive Peter<br />

Davie said the company<br />

was delighted to support the<br />

programme’s work.<br />

“Thanks to the work of the<br />

CYDP many youths now have<br />

the opportunity to get into the<br />

workforce and get their lives<br />

back on track,” he said.<br />

“We hope our contribution<br />

damaged in both the<br />

September 2010 and February<br />

2011 earthquakes and later<br />

demolished.<br />

The new facility<br />

would have eight aged<br />

residential care beds and<br />

four general practice<br />

beds for inpatients, and<br />

would house the general<br />

practice and other<br />

community services.<br />

A community-owned<br />

company, Akaroa Health Hub<br />

Ltd, will be the provider of the<br />

services.<br />

The Akaroa Health Hub<br />

Structure Group has already<br />

raised about $400,000 to go<br />

towards the facility.<br />

Group chairman Alan Bradford<br />

said the announcement that it<br />

supports safer and more secure<br />

homes for Canterbury’s youth<br />

and the flow-on effects can<br />

benefit the region that we live<br />

and work in.”<br />

Programme chief executive<br />

and co-founder Bevan Seal said<br />

a lot of bright young people<br />

got dragged into shoplifting,<br />

was ready to go out for design<br />

tender was “the best news we’ve<br />

had for a long time.”<br />

He said raising the money<br />

would be a lot of hard<br />

work, but achieveable.<br />

Originally the structure<br />

group had to raise $1<br />

million for the facility,<br />

however, Ngai Tahu<br />

Property Ltd pulled out<br />

of the project in August.<br />

District health board<br />

chief executive David Meates<br />

(left) said detailed financing<br />

and ownership were still being<br />

worked through, but sufficient<br />

time would be provided for the<br />

community fundraising target.<br />

That would not impact<br />

that construction schedule, he<br />

said.<br />

House of Travel Ferrymead can help turn your dream into a reality.<br />

Travelling by train can conjure up images of a bygone era, the old fashioned<br />

romantic grandeur of stylish carriages and bar and restaurant cars and<br />

settling down to breakfast while you look out over exciting new panoramas.<br />

of wonder can still be felt on board a number of iconic train journeys where<br />

Call us today on 03 3764022.<br />

HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE MAIN REASONS WE LOVE TRAIN TRAVEL:<br />

• Stress free – stroll through an elegant train station in the centre of town, take a seat in your carriage, enjoy the scenery and arrive relaxed<br />

• More Choice – create your own unique itinerary with either point to point sector fares or talk to us about the various rail pass options<br />

the local language in a foreign country<br />

• Sleep Over – overnight trains are undeniably romantic and whether you have a private sleeper or couchette you will arrive fresh in your<br />

The Mandibles: A Family, 2029–2<strong>04</strong>7<br />

by Lionel Shriver<br />

The brilliant new novel from the Orange Prize-winning<br />

author of We Need to Talk about Kevin centres on three<br />

generations of The Mandible family as a fiscal crisis<br />

hits a near-future America. ‘In God We Trusted’.<br />

It is 2029. The Mandibles have been counting on a sizable<br />

fortune filtering down when their 97-year-old patriarch dies.<br />

Yet America’s soaring national debt has grown so enormous that it can never<br />

be repaid. Under siege from an upstart international currency, the dollar is<br />

in meltdown. A bloodless world war will wipe out the savings of millions of<br />

American families. Their inheritance turned to ash, each family member must<br />

contend with disappointment, but also — as the effects of the downturn start to<br />

hit — the challenge of sheer survival.<br />

Recently affluent Avery is petulant that she can’t buy olive oil, while her sister<br />

Florence is forced to absorb strays into her increasingly cramped household.<br />

As their father Carter fumes at having to care for his demented stepmother now<br />

that a nursing home is too expensive, his sister Nollie, an expat author, returns<br />

from abroad at 73 to a country that’s unrecognisable. Perhaps only Florence’s<br />

oddball teenage son Willing, an economics autodidact, can save this formerly<br />

august American family from the streets. This is not science fiction. This is<br />

a frightening, fascinating, scabrously funny glimpse into the decline that<br />

may await the United States all too soon, from the pen of perhaps the most<br />

consistently perceptive and topical author of our times.<br />

Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All<br />

by Jonas Jonasson<br />

A madcap new novel from the one-of-a-kind author of THE HUNDRED-YEAR-<br />

OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW and THE GIRL WHO SAVED<br />

THE KING OF SWEDEN. IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN. AND AGAIN. It’s<br />

always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at<br />

a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, it’s particularly awkward because the<br />

money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven. Per Persson, the<br />

hotel receptionist, just wants to mind his own business, and preferably not get<br />

murdered. Johanna Kjellander, temporarily resident in room eight, is a priest<br />

without a vocation, and, as of last week, without a parish. But right now she has<br />

two things at her disposal: an envelope containing five thousand kronor, and an<br />

excellent idea . . . Featuring one violent killer, two shrewd business brains and<br />

many crates of Moldovan red wine, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is<br />

an outrageously zany story with as many laughs as Jonasson’s multimillioncopy<br />

bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window<br />

and Disappeared.<br />

SUPPORTIVE: Our Lady Star of the Sea School pupils are wishing dancing duo, Gerry Shackleton and<br />

Kim Preston, good luck for this weekend’s Strictly Sumner competition. The pair have chosen to raise<br />

money for the school as part of Saturday’s event, where they will perform in front of a large crowd<br />

and guest judges. They are among 10 couples who will perform, and in doing so, raise money for local<br />

groups, clubs and charities.<br />

Coming together<br />

ALL GO: Work is progressing on Living Springs’ Founders Field<br />

project, with the hard surfaced sports court being sealed last week.<br />

The finished project will include a playing field, the court, and a<br />

picnic area. Living Springs chief executive Denis Aldridge said it was<br />

all coming together, and they hoped to see it finished within the<br />

next few weeks. “This is a wonderful project coming together here<br />

which includes Founders Field, a large scale sporting field which<br />

opens up a whole lot of possibilities including concerts, jamborees,<br />

and large events with lots of tents and all the rest,” he said.<br />

Top tips for swimmers<br />

Two young swimmers from Mt Pleasant<br />

and Sumner got the chance to learn<br />

from the best at a national swimming<br />

camp.<br />

Mt Pleasant’s Oliver Aikawa, and<br />

Sumner’s Hugo Tresfield qualified for<br />

the 36-member Jetstar Super Swim<br />

Squad Camp which was held in Auckland<br />

from April 23-25.<br />

Both qualified for the camp after winning<br />

their age groups in the NZ Ocean<br />

Swim Series race at Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> last<br />

year.<br />

The coaches for the camp was captained<br />

by Northern Arena head of<br />

swimming Dean Kent, and included<br />

double Olympic gold medalist Danyon<br />

Loader, and Rio <strong>2016</strong> Olympic qualifier<br />

Emma Robinson.<br />

Recently crowned winners of the<br />

Sumner Running Club<br />

men’s masters captain Dave<br />

Fitch won the 40 to 44 yearold<br />

category of the Rotorua<br />

Marathon.<br />

Fitch recorded a personal<br />

best time on the 42.2km<br />

course of 2hr 41min 53sec<br />

on Saturday to secure the<br />

win by about two minutes.<br />

Fitch finished 11th overall<br />

out of the more than 1000<br />

competitors that entered.<br />

Sumner Running Club<br />

member Ann Wells said<br />

although Fitch tends to do<br />

better in cross-country, he<br />

performed well to take the<br />

win.<br />

“Traditionally more comfortable<br />

running the crosscountry<br />

and road races up<br />

to 15km or a half marathon,<br />

the marathon distance was a<br />

big step up for Fitch.<br />

“In spite of a less than<br />

ideal build up, he ran a<br />

strong and very consistent<br />

race,” she said.<br />

Wells said she was<br />

FAST TIME: Dave Fitch ran<br />

a personal best time in the<br />

Rotorua Marathon, and won<br />

the men’s 40 to 44 year-old<br />

category.<br />

relieved to see Fitch come<br />

through the 24km mark<br />

looking fresh.<br />

“I have watched Fitch run<br />

so many races and know<br />

the signs when things aren’t<br />

going so well. So it was a<br />

relief when he ran through<br />

the 24km mark looking<br />

strong,” she said.<br />

She said he continued to<br />

maintain consistent pace for<br />

the rest of the race in spite<br />

of some cramping issues.<br />

“Running into the finishing<br />

straight he was flying<br />

and he was two minutes<br />

clear of the next finisher,”<br />

she said.<br />

Meanwhile, the Sumner<br />

Running Club started their<br />

winter cross-country season<br />

during the school holidays<br />

with two races.<br />

The opening event was<br />

the Hagley Memorial<br />

relays, held over Anzac<br />

weekend, followed by<br />

the Lionel Fox relays, at<br />

Woodend Beach Domain on<br />

Saturday.<br />

In the Lionel Fox relays,<br />

Ben Ainsley and Nathan<br />

Jones took out first and<br />

second in the masters men’s<br />

individual placings.<br />

The top individual placings<br />

went to second-placed<br />

Sam Clark, and third-placed<br />

Victoria Wells.<br />

Sumner’s senior men’s<br />

team finished fourth, while<br />

the under 18 relay team<br />

of Emilio Kennedy, John<br />

Wells, Victoria Wells, and<br />

Sam Clark placed sixth<br />

overall.<br />

ORGANIC HORTICULTURE COURSES<br />

Instruction in organic horticulture is<br />

now well established at the Lincolnbased<br />

Organic Training College. The<br />

next year-long course, which begins<br />

on 1st August, will be the ninth<br />

intake for the college. Students need<br />

no prior qualifications or experience<br />

to commence Year One and can<br />

study full or part-time. Those who<br />

have some horticultural background<br />

can go straight into Year Two.<br />

An added appeal of the course is that<br />

all fees are under $500, and full time<br />

students are eligible to apply for a<br />

loan or allowance through Studylink.<br />

Course Director Bill Martin says it<br />

works well to start the course year in<br />

the spring. “The organic horticulture<br />

course is all about growing so we<br />

want to start the course in spring<br />

when it is the right time to begin<br />

planting.”<br />

Year One students get plenty of<br />

hands on training in subjects such as<br />

sowing and planting organic crops,<br />

soil management and composting.<br />

The Year Two students have the<br />

option of using land and facilities<br />

on the Biological Husbandry Unit<br />

(BHU) Farm to grow and sell their<br />

own certified produce – a semicommercial<br />

venture that gives<br />

students a real taste of organic<br />

horticulture as a business. The<br />

students grow vegetables under the<br />

guidance of a mentor and sell them<br />

at a weekly stall at Lincoln University<br />

“The Year Two programme gives the<br />

students experience in a commercial<br />

environment without any risk. It’s<br />

the icing on the cake for a lot of the<br />

students here,” says Bill Martin.<br />

As well as the year-long organic<br />

horticulture courses a distance<br />

(correspondence) programme in<br />

organics is also available.<br />

The Organic Training College is<br />

located at the Biological Husbandry<br />

Unit at Lincoln University. There<br />

are 10 hectares of certified organic<br />

land as well as greenhouses, tunnel<br />

houses and research areas.<br />

Twins with football talent<br />

Last week <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

News reported on promising<br />

football player Ryan<br />

Nicholson. But there is<br />

also another part of the<br />

Nicholson sporting equation<br />

– his twin sister Britneylee.<br />

Fraser Walker-Pearce<br />

reports.<br />

The Nicholson twins started<br />

sport at age four when Britneylee<br />

copied her slightly younger<br />

brother’s choice to take it up, and<br />

a friendly rivalry started.<br />

Now, 12 years later, the Mt<br />

Pleasant twins are fiercely<br />

competitive, and “always” push<br />

each other to do better and<br />

succeed.<br />

Ryan was picked to represent<br />

New Zealand in the upcoming<br />

Super Cup, to be held in<br />

Northern Ireland in July. He<br />

also plays for the St Andrew’s<br />

College first 11, the Coastal<br />

Spirit men’s reserves team, and<br />

is a Canterbury futsal player.<br />

Meanwhile, Britneylee is a<br />

successful footballer, playing<br />

premier football for club,<br />

Coastal Spirit, as well as being<br />

an age group representative for<br />

Canterbury for both football and<br />

futsal. She won the golden boot<br />

at last year’s futsal nationals<br />

competition.<br />

Britneylee said they challenge<br />

each other’s performance when<br />

they get home from a match.<br />

“We’re both very competitive,<br />

we always compare who’s<br />

scored more goals and things<br />

like that,” she said.<br />

“I was born before Ryan, so<br />

I kind of hold that over him,”<br />

Britneylee said.<br />

Ryan said they disagree<br />

on who is smarter, and who<br />

their favourite footballer is.<br />

Ryan’s favourite footballer is<br />

Argentinian Lionel Messi, while<br />

Britneylee prefers Portuguese<br />

international Cristiano Ronaldo.<br />

But they can agree that<br />

Manchester City is their<br />

favourite English Premier<br />

League team.<br />

Britneylee is usually a striker<br />

in her teams, while Ryan prefers<br />

to play in the midfield, which<br />

Ryan said makes it hard to define<br />

who is better.<br />

“We play completely different<br />

positions so it’s hard to say who’s<br />

the better footballer,” he said.<br />

If football doesn’t work out for<br />

the twins, they each have a back<br />

up job in mind.<br />

Britneylee said: “I’d want to<br />

be an architect, and go to an<br />

American college.”<br />

Ryan said: “I’d want to be a<br />

football coach, and give back to<br />

the game a bit.”<br />

They also share a twin<br />

instinct. Ryan said if his sister is<br />

thinking of particular subjects,<br />

he “generally” knows what it<br />

will be.<br />

“I can generally gather the<br />

vibe of what she’s thinking,” he<br />

said.<br />

BIG<br />

AMBITIONS:<br />

If football<br />

doesn’t work<br />

out for twins<br />

Britneylee<br />

and Ryan,<br />

they want<br />

to become<br />

an architect<br />

and a football<br />

coach<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>s in<br />

winning form<br />

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE<br />

Ferrymead <strong>Bay</strong>s are in a rich vein<br />

of form having won their last two<br />

games on the trot.<br />

After beating Western 4-1 over<br />

Anzac Weekend, <strong>Bay</strong>s took on<br />

Halswell on Saturday and beat<br />

them by the same margin.<br />

The back-to-back wins see<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>s rise from seventh place to<br />

fourth in the Mainland Premier<br />

League.<br />

First team coach Danny Halligan<br />

said after a slow start to the<br />

season, he is pleased with how<br />

his side are progressing.<br />

“They’re just a couple of wins,<br />

but we are making up ground<br />

from some disappointing results<br />

earlier in the season,” he said.<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>s will play Coastal Spirit<br />

this week. Coastal are currently<br />

second with 17 points from eight<br />

matches.<br />

The match will kick off at<br />

2.45pm at ASB Football Park on<br />

Saturday.

Still Pedalling!<br />

Baby of Focus range alluring<br />

ROSS KIDDIE<br />

The arrival of Ford’s new<br />

Mustang has generated a<br />

heightened level of excitement<br />

within the performance car<br />

market in New Zealand.<br />

The Mustang capped off<br />

a busy year for Ford during<br />

2015, notwithstanding there<br />

was a new Mondeo, a Ranger<br />

refresh, and a heavily upgraded<br />

and revamped Focus.<br />

This evaluation surrounds the<br />

Focus which lands here in both<br />

wagon and hatchback forms;<br />

amidst those variants are four<br />

engine options and several<br />

specification levels.<br />

The test car was my personal<br />

favourite, the Sport hatchback<br />

with its 1.5-litre, four-cylinder<br />

engine. There are bigger<br />

engines – 1.6-litre to 2-litre<br />

and diesel – but I find the baby<br />

of the series quite alluring.<br />

Ford has really embraced<br />

turbocharging technologies,<br />

and the Ecoboost 1.5-litre<br />

stands out for its honesty and<br />

low down torquey characteristics.<br />

The turbocharger not<br />

only helps pump up the power<br />

outputs – 132kW and 240Nm<br />

– but it is also a mechanism for<br />

promoting fuel efficiency.<br />

Ford claims a 6.7-litre<br />

per 100km (42mpg) combined<br />

cycle rating for the<br />

S-specification Ecoboost<br />

FORD FOCUS: Dynamic in terms of power delivery.<br />

Focus. That correlates well<br />

with the 8l/100km (35mpg)<br />

average showing constantly<br />

on the test car’s trip computer,<br />

along with a 5.5l/100km<br />

(51mpg) instantaneous readout<br />

cruising at a steady 100km/h,<br />

the engine quite unstressed at<br />

just 1800rpm.<br />

And if you think small displacement<br />

engines can’t hack<br />

it in terms of performance,<br />

the opposite applies, maximum<br />

torque is available all<br />

of the way from 1600rpm to<br />

5000rpm. The Focus in this<br />

from is feisty, it will scamper<br />

to 100km/h from a standstill<br />

in 8.5sec, and lunge through<br />

a highway overtake in 5sec<br />

(80km/h-120km/h).<br />

Not only does the engine<br />

stand out for its solid power<br />

delivery, it works through the<br />

transmission to provide strong<br />

engine braking on an easing<br />

throttle. If you use that in conjunction<br />

with the paddle-shift<br />

system, the Focus S does feel<br />

sporty, it is punchy and dynamic<br />

in terms of power delivery.<br />

The new enhancements<br />

for <strong>2016</strong> include engineering<br />

changes which have made<br />

the Focus even quieter and<br />

less vulnerable to coarse chip<br />

road seal surfaces. At highway<br />

speed it is superbly quiet, that<br />

only broken by the eager throb<br />

of the engine under load, it’s<br />

not overbearing, but when<br />

you request acceleration, it is<br />

audible.<br />

The suspension and chassis<br />

settings are biased towards<br />

a controlled ride and strong<br />

steering turn-in. You can really<br />

lean on the Focus in a corner<br />

and it will respond with decisive<br />

handling manners and<br />

SPECIFICATIONS<br />

Price: Ford Focus S, $38,340.<br />

Dimensions: Length,4399mm;<br />

width, 1823mm; height, 1469mm.<br />

Configuration: Four-cylinder,<br />

front-wheel-drive, 1498cc, 132kW,<br />

240Nm, six-speed automatic.<br />

Performance: 0-100km/h,<br />

8.9sec.<br />

Fuel usage: 6.7l/100km<br />

controlled suspension movement.<br />

It’s that level of quality<br />

which makes the Focus a desirable<br />

purchase. At $38,340 for<br />

the S-spec model you get all<br />

the trick gear which is landing<br />

in Ford product these days.<br />

Items such as satellite navigation,<br />

keyless entry and ignition,<br />

voice recognition and<br />

smartphone connectivity are<br />

all included. There’s also a<br />

massive amount of safety gear<br />

and function which help in the<br />

everyday missions we have to<br />

tackle as drivers.<br />

Some include enhanced<br />

active park assist, and parallel<br />

and perpendicular park assist.<br />

One of the key safety features<br />

I like is the driver impairment<br />

monitor, it works alongside the<br />

lane keeping aid and alerts to<br />

keep the driver aware that he/<br />

she should be taking a break.<br />

Even though the Focus sits<br />

in the Mustang’s shadow it is<br />

still an integral part of Ford’s<br />

line-up.<br />

The 3 Step Plan to Make<br />

Healthy Habits Stick<br />

Health and Wellness Coach Annabelle Matson gives us her 3 step<br />

plan on how to make healthy habit stick. Add, modify and delete,<br />

it’s as easy as ABC<br />

When it comes to eating<br />

habits and making<br />

improvements to our<br />

health in general, trying<br />

to change absolutely everything about<br />

our lifestyle overnight, very rarely<br />

works. We often think: “if I can’t eat /<br />

do things perfectly, I shouldn’t bother<br />

at all”. As a recovering perfectionist I<br />

totally get that. However this clearly<br />

doesn’t support success. It just keeps us<br />

stuck right where we are, on the dieting<br />

roller coaster, never seeing results for<br />

the long term.<br />

I always say to my clients, “overtime<br />

not overnight”. We want to do things<br />

gradually, because that’s what results in<br />

permanent change. Why weight loss and<br />

many health programs often don’t work,<br />

is because we go from eating whatever<br />

we want, to restricting everything.<br />

So instead of drastically restricting<br />

everything, use my 3 step tool – add,<br />

modify and delete.<br />

A: Pick one thing you want to add<br />

B: Pick one thing you want to modify<br />

C: Pick one thing you want to delete<br />

For example:<br />

Add: A morning meditation to centre<br />

you for the day.<br />

Modify: Refined sugar intake. Alcohol<br />

is a huge source of sugar – so instead of<br />

drinking during the week, stick to a few<br />

just on the weekends.<br />

Delete: Eating after 8pm.<br />

Commit to the add, modify, delete plan for 30 days. Once that all becomes a habit –<br />

start a new add, modify, delete plan.<br />

When you do steps incrementally like that, it creates new habits. You won’t feel<br />

overwhelmed and it feels really manageable. Like magic, it all starts to become a<br />

lifestyle that you LOVE and that are you motivated to sustain.<br />

Tips<br />

Protect yourself for up to 3 months from<br />

cold & flu<br />

It’s coming into the time of year to be thinking about prevention of<br />

colds & flu. Buccaline is an oral antibacterial prophylaxis for the<br />

prevention of secondary bacterial infections associated with cold<br />

and flu. Buccaline provides active immunisation against bacterial<br />

colds. Illnesses of the upper respiratory are often caused by bacterial<br />

infections. Viral and influenza-like illnesses are frequently made worse<br />

by an additional bacterial infections and take longer to recover from.<br />

Immunology investigations show that Buccaline significantly improves<br />

resistance to colds and flu. Protection becomes effective after taking<br />

the last set of tablets. To maintain effectiveness as well as taking<br />

Buccaline at the beginning of the cold season take it again in the<br />

middle of the cold season. Tablets should be swallowed whole with<br />

some liquid one-hour before breakfast or lunch.<br />
